York Business Festival economic impact on business
IoD North Yorkshire branch is taking part in York Business Festival, a month-long event held in York each year. Organised by the City of York Council, it involves a wide range of organisations from the public and private sectors.
It has five themes, which form part of York's Economic Strategy, and the IoD will be leading on "Closer to home – an economy driven by good business".
In this session, we will get an oversight of the UK economy in these challenging times and an understanding of managing small and medium sized businesses in this challenging business economic environment. Sessions on how to be prepared to raise capital for growth from the perspective of a business and through the eyes of a potential investor.
